Use real-time data to affect the frequency of bike share station flashes #3

There are many ways we could go to integrate real-time Indego station info. My first thought is:

  1. Download the real-time information on the server each minute (or more often)
  2. Cache the last 15 minutes of data
  3. Preprocess to get the number of bikes checked out or returned at a given station within the last 15 minutes
  4. Use that info to set the frequency of flashes for each station (so that they all have different periods/frequencies and it looks like twinkling ... maybe)
